Gwinnett Police arrested a man Friday they say kidnapped a woman and then fled authorities, leading to an officer-involved shooting in Lawrenceville.
In a release, police said they received a call from a man who said his girlfriend had not returned from running errands. That man then received a call from the woman, who indicated she was in danger.
Police found the suspect's vehicle going west on Duluth Highway near Purcell Road and attempted to stop it. They said the vehicle initially stopped and the woman got out on the passenger's side, but the suspect then fled.
While fleeing, the suspect hit three police vehicles. Officers then fired shots, injuring the suspect, who then fled on foot. He was then arrested after being tracked by K9 officers.
Names of the suspect and victim have not been released. Gwinnett County authorities are investigating the incident.
The victim reportedly suffered minor injuries, including a bite from a police dog when she exited the suspect's vehicle. No officers were injured.
